<196> Ramble stuff: I am tired tonight again, which is good... it's better than being up half the night. It's more of a "normal" time for me to go to bed around 1am as opposed to 3 or 4. Maybe I'm just worn out... today was a busy day. Work was a little hectic and then I had to stay late until after 6pm, when I went right from there to my HiNgE meeting, then right to the opening for the PCS/CcTC Holiday Cards Show, then right to dinner and then home. The show was great - it was packed and all the cards look great. Basically friends of mine are in something called the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society and 12 of them got together and did one design each and donated it to the Children's Crisis Treatment Center. Printing and everything else was donated by people too, so all the proceeds go directly to the center. I hope they did well tonight, it seemed like a lot of people were buying card packs. I bought three myself and am going to use them as part of the holiday cards I send out this year. I will still need to buy some more cards before next month though... I am planning on giving out cards this year better than years past. Hopefully I will have the time to do it, especially if I get started early :)

Ahh... so I bought sushi tonight and then ended up going to the diner with friends, which was cool because I figured I'd be hungry later and could save it.. and I did have a good time hanging out after the card show, but I wasn't as hungry as I thought later (the hunger from the medicine is wearing off, especially since I take the medicine once in the early afternoon instead of right before bed I think). So I was presented with this yummy sushi and only slight hunger but I ate it anyway except two pieces... so now I'm really full and I've been trying to stay up a little longer so I won't go to bed with all that sitting in my stomach so directly... it seems to be digesting, haha I will never learn. At least I won't wake up in the middle of the night with hunger pains... that's a lot worse than being full.

So they turned our heat on finally today... well again... we have these heat vents and the first cold day like two months ago it came on one morning randomly and I was excited then... but then those vents were never warm after that... at least I never caught them on, and it was always cold in our apartment. Our bedroom is cold because the windows leak and I haven't fixed them yet (but I will soon) but the living room was chilly when it shouldn't have been. Well, this morning I came out from the bedroom and the heating vents are on (and that's good because today was especially cold) and getting home tonight at 10pm they were STILL on so hopefully this will continue. It's still cold in our bedroom, but not as bad as it could be with the way it is outside... and it's actually warm in this living room. It's great. Poor Dan, I'm always cold and he's usually hot... so I'm sure it's already too warm for him. They are supposed to keep it at 70 degrees because the heating is fixed in our apartment, but somehow I was doubting it would actually stick at that... it seems like it actually might be 70 right now in the living room though...

Last night I watched Transformers The Movie on a big projection screen at The Troc. It was pretty fun, though it was mostly people yelling, drinking, and smoking... Philly and it's finest... haha. I went with Dan and some of our other friends. It was good to go out though, I have been resolving to go out and do more, hang out with people I haven't in awhile and even new people. Going to that work happy hour last Friday was part of this idea too... that was getting to know people at work on a more personal and less formal level. I've gotten to know the brokerage group that I work for directly at the company pretty well, but the others that I don't work with every single day I am still in the process of knowing some of them better. They're all pretty nice people though, so it was a good time then too.

Finally, guess what, my ceiling leak is back. For the last two days we've been locking the cats in the bedroom thinking they were coming to fix the big hole in the ceiling during the day. I finally got back in touch with them today and they said they're coming for sure tomorrow... or otherwise Thursday... yeah I think they should be able to tell me more exactly too. Well, I come home tonight to the big hole leaking water again, slower drips this time but it's still there. So now I have to call them first thing in the morning to let them know they should be coming back to fix it and bring someone first to repair the leak AGAIN... and hopefully for good this time because if they fix the hole and it leaks more it will be pointless. Ahh... the fun never stops....

Adult Swim has begun showing series' of cartoons they haven't shown in awhile this week, including Wolf's Rain and Witch Hunter Robin... neither of these I really got into the first time around, but after seeing the finale of Wolf's Rain I don't know if I want to go through the series... it was rather sad, with a kind of outtake on the purpose of life... it just happens to be on when I'm getting ready to go to bed... maybe it'll make me go to bed earlier or get more things done at night, haha... we'll see what happens.

The rest of this week is seeming to be busy at work... though I am taking off Friday because I have another doctor's appointment and I have some daytime errands I should really take care of before I use up all my days off... like going to get my driver's license switched to PA from NJ. I might as well since I plan to be here for awhile and I'm afraid that even though I am technically a citizen of both states, I should get things transfered over if this becomes my main location now that I'm out of school.

Anyway, enough random for tonight.. it was quite a random posting, though I'm really, really tired so that's probably why. I'm going to be updating my links section a little tonight, though I'm not sure it'll be live by the time I go to bed... I might wait awhile. I've also been building up to start doing my daily look section again. Actually, I'm planning on a whole redesign of this site... as soon as I get a chance to sit down and plan it out. I've started doing that a little bit, but I'm torn by spending more time making it exactly how I want, or putting up a fresh design now that's still pretty simple and trying to update it again quickly. I don't know what I'll decide, but either way more and more new things should be appearing here in the not too distant future. My portfolio is what really needs a redesign, but I'll get to that in time too... I've never really created one of those that I truly liked. They were always done in a rush for school or whatnot, but I want to do it right this time around. So many ideas are running around in my head lately... so many things I want to do, to start, to finish... ahh.. with time. But for now, sleep would be helpful on my quest... until later!
